Wayne, Alternatively, you could try extracting the "superfloppy" from the .sys file. Grab DD for Windows by John Newbigin and do: dd if=foo.sys of=foo.vfd skip=8 which will skip the first 4096 bytes (8 512-byte sectors) of the .sys file and output the "superfloppy" image. Then you can use this disk image with MEMDISK... However... You need to use PXELINUX as a middle-man in order to keep the UNDI stack... Your DHCP server would hand out 'pxelinux.0' as the boot-file. Then you'd need a pxelinux.cfg/default file containing something like the following: LABEL ghost KERNEL memdisk INITRD foo.vfd APPEND floppy keeppxe It would appear that gPXE does indeed have a problem with either the 3Com Boot Services .pxe files, or possibly the .sys files. I think that the error message you reported is not accurate, but is the fall-through message for whatever the actual error is.
